I have an antenna on a mast for UHF digital TV reception. I was watching one day and all channels had good reception. As the wind increased, the antenna and mast started moving, causing occasional drop outs of the channels. The solution was to lower the mast until it was just above the roof line.
Those with conventional folding RV antennas should look at how their antenna reacts to the wind and make sure there is minimum movement when deployed.
Yup, I was the one that complained about walking into the camper and the signal would drop out. Same way with the slightest breeze. My old antennae will not stay tight at full extension and rocks around easily. By lowering it I can keep it steady but, it will not rotate then.
I don't watch that much TV when camping so I have decided to leave it alone. Too much cost and hassle to fix.
